- TeacherLibrarianNing
- Classroom 2.0 Ning
- LibraryYouthServices 2.0
- Quick PicksNing

7. Do a survey. Embed one on your site or your wiki or your blog. Learn about reading habits, learning needs, hot titles. Help your students learn about original research and good question design. Some cool new resources include:

- Survey Scholar
- Zoomerang
- Zoho Polls
- Response-o-matic (for websites)

8. Attend a workshop or a conference online. Use a webcast speech or workshop to inspire an inservice or to enhance a curriculum. You don’t really have to spend lots of money on hotel and airfare to be inspired by professional wisdom. You can bring wonderful speakers into your library and classrooms.
Consider learning and sharing what you learn through the following sites:
- Apple Learning Interchange: NECC
- TED.com Inspired talks by the world’s greatest thinkers
- Hitchhikr Hitch a ride to any current conference
- K12 Online Conference Great edtech speakers archived!
- EdTechTalk New dialog all the time. Join the group of your choice or listen to archives
- Common Craft Show Simply amazing instruction!
This modest list is just a beginning. Please add your own ideas and examples!
